Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution

International Context: Dr. Patricia Lohr, British Pregnancy Advisory Service

1:30 pm

Dr. Patricia Lohr:

My point is that I feel that decisions about whether to continue a pregnancy should sit with the woman herself. As a doctor and knowing the risks of continuing an unwanted pregnancy, I cannot imagine compelling a woman to have and continue a pregnancy for which she is unprepared.
